Do you see this egg? With this you can topple every theological theory, every church or temple in the world.

Science Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Science

1.
Science has a simple faith, which transcends utility. Nearly all men of science, all men of learning for that matter, and men of simple ways too, have it in some form and in some degree. It is the faith that it is the privilege of man to learn to understand, and that this is his mission. If we abandon that mission under stress we shall abandon it forever, for stress will not cease. Knowledge for the sake of understanding, not merely to prevail, that is the essence of our being. None can define its limits, or set its ultimate boundaries.
Bush, Vannevar

2.
Science has been seriously retarded by the study of what is not worth knowing and of what is not knowable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

3.
Conscience is the dog that can't bite, but never stops barking.
Proverb

4.
To overturn orthodoxy is no easier in science than in philosophy, religion, economics, or any of the other disciplines through which we try to comprehend the world and the society in which we live.
Hubbard, Ruth

5.
Scientists are peeping toms at the keyhole of eternity.
Koestler, Arthur

6.
I think remorse ought to stop biting the consciences that feed it.
Nash, Ogden

7.
Science has proof without any certainty. Creationists have certainty without any proof.
Ashley Montague

8.
Formal symbolic representation of qualitative entities is doomed to its rightful place of minor significance in a world where flowers and beautiful women abound.
Einstein, Albert

9.
Science is for those who learn, poetry is for those who know.
Roux, Joseph

10.
There is no greater impediment to progress in the sciences than the desire to see it take place too quickly.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

11.
He had been eight years upon a project for extracting sunbeams out of cucumbers, which were to be put into vials hermetically sealed, and let out to warm the air in raw, inclement summers.
Swift, Jonathan

12.
Science may set limits to knowledge, but should not set limits to imagination.
Bertrand Russell

13.
The man of science is a poor philosopher.
Einstein, Albert

14.
Science is an integral part of culture. It's not this foreign thing, done by an arcane priesthood. It's one of the glories of the human intellectual tradition.
Gould, Stephen Jay

15.
Religions are the great fairy tales of conscience.
Santayana, George

16.
A clear conscience is a soft pillow.
Proverb, German

17.
I know of no department of natural science more likely to reward a man who goes into it thoroughly than anthropology. There is an immense deal to be done in the science pure and simple, and it is one of those branches of inquiry which brings one into contact with the great problems of humanity in every direction.
Huxley, Thomas H.

18.
Science is but the exchange of ignorance for that which is another kind of ignorance.
Byron, Lord

19.
In everything that relates to science, I am a whole Encyclopaedia behind the rest of the world.
Lamb, Charles

20.
In the depths of every heart, there is a tomb and a dungeon, though the lights, the music, and revelry above may cause us to forget their existence, and the buried ones, or prisoners whom they hide. But sometimes, and oftenest at midnight, those dark receptacles are flung wide open. In an hour like this, when the mind has a passive sensibility, but no active strength; when the imagination is a mirror, imparting vividness to all ideas, without the power of selecting or controlling them; then pray that your grieves may slumber, and the brotherhood of remorse not break their chain.
Hawthorne, Nathaniel

21.
Conscience does make cowards of us all.
Shakespeare, William

22.
When I contemplate the accumulation of guilt and remorse which, like a garbage-can, I carry through life, and which is fed not only by the lightest action but by the most harmless pleasure, I feel Man to be of all living things the most biologically incompetent and ill-organized. Why has he acquired a seventy years life-span only to poison it incurably by the mere being of himself? Why has he thrown Conscience, like a dead rat, to putrefy in the well?
Connolly, Cyril

23.
Science can only ascertain what is, but not what should be, and outside of its domain value judgments of all kinds remain necessary.
Einstein, Albert

24.
Our lifetime may be the last that will be lived out in a technological society.
Clarke, Arthur C.

25.
Where everything is possible miracles become commonplaces, but the familiar ceases to be self-evident.
Hoffer, Eric

26.
Conscience -- the only incorruptible thing about us.
Fielding, Henry

27.
Science is one thing, wisdom is another. Science is an edged tool, with which men play like children, and cut their own fingers.
Sir Arthur Eddington

28.
There are two kinds of truth; the truth that lights the way and the truth that warms the heart. The first of these is science, and the second is art. Without art science would be as useless as a pair of high forceps in the hands of a plumber. Without science art would become a crude mess of folklore and emotional quackery.
Chandler, Raymond

29.
It is a good morning exercise for a research scientist to discard a pet hypothesis every day before breakfast. It keeps him young.
Konrad Lorenz

30.
The more we learn of science, the more we see that its wonderful mysteries are all explained by a few simple laws so connected together and so dependent upon each other, that we see the same mind animating them all.
Brown, Olympia

31.
A man ceases to be a beginner in any given science and becomes a master in that science when he has learned that he is going to be a beginner all his life.
Collingwood, Robin G.

32.
Nothing leads the scientist so astray as a premature truth.
Rostand, Jean

33.
There is only one way to achieve happiness on this terrestrial ball, and that is to have either a clear conscience or none at all.
Nash, Ogden

34.
The chief prerequisite for a escort is to have a flexible conscience and an inflexible politeness.
Blessington, Marguerite Gardiner, Countess of

35.
Well: what we gain by science is, after all, sadness, as the Preacher saith. The more we know of the laws and nature of the Universe the more ghastly a business we perceive it all to be -- and the non-necessity of it.
Hardy, Thomas

36.
It is sometimes important for science to know how to forget the things she is surest of.
Rostand, Jean

37.
Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other -- only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.
Parsons, Talcott

38.
But how is one to make a scientist understand that there is something unalterably deranged about differential calculus, quantum theory, or the obscene and so inanely liturgical ordeals of the precession of the equinoxes.
Artaud, Antonin

39.
Science has not solved problems, only shifted the points of problems.
Parkhurst, Charles H.

40.
Truth in science can best be defined as the working hypothesis best suited to open the way to the next better one.
Lorenz, Konrad

41.
The future of humanity is uncertain, even in the most prosperous countries, and the quality of life deteriorates; and yet I believe that what is being discovered about the infinitely large and infinitely small is sufficient to absolve this end of the century and millennium. What a very few are acquiring in knowledge of the physical world will perhaps cause this period not to be judged as a pure return of barbarism.
Levi, Primo

42.
Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today -- but the core of science fiction, its essence has become crucial to our salvation if we are to be saved at all.
Asimov, Isaac

43.
There is one thing alone that stands the brunt of life throughout its length: a quiet conscience.
Euripides

44.
There are no such things as applied sciences, only applications of science.
Louis Pasteur

45.
Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds. Biochemistry is the study of carbon compounds that crawl.
Adams, Mike

46.
We grow with years more fragile in body, but morally stutter, and can throw off the chill of a bad conscience almost at once.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

47.
Science has explained nothing; the more we know the more fantastic the world becomes and the profounder the surrounding darkness.
Huxley, Aldous

48.
In science, all facts no matter how trivial, enjoy democratic equality.
Mccarthy, Mary

49.
It is not easy to imagine how little interested a scientist usually is in the work of any other, with the possible exception of the teacher who backs him or the student who honors him.
Rostand, Jean

50.
Do you see this egg? With this you can topple every theological theory, every church or temple in the world.
Diderot, Denis
